Dr. Awesome Doge is a renowned blockchain scholar and innovator, known for his contributions to the TON blockchain ecosystem. Since engaging with Bitcoin in 2013, where he translated foundational texts, Doge has become a key figure in Asia’s largest Bitcoin community (Bitcoin 比特幣中文社團). His early research at Taiwan’s Academia Sinica focused on Bitcoin’s security, network consensus, and the Tor Network.

In 2015, Doge expanded his research to Ethereum, focusing on address vulnerabilities and mining. He completed his master’s degree at Peking University in record time, studying high-performance computing, the Great Firewall of China, and Telegram. During this time, he engaged with key figures in the Ethereum community, gaining deeper insights into blockchain technologies.

Doge has published extensively on machine learning, Bitcoin, and the Lightning Network. His understanding of international human rights, shaped by his experiences in China, underscores his belief in the transformative power of cryptocurrencies.

Returning to Taiwan in 2018, Doge founded Cypherpunks Taiwan to promote privacy and cryptography. He also founded BlockTempo, a leading blockchain media outlet, and contributed to Japan’s digital currency research. His advisory roles with major blockchain entities like Huobi and Bitmark further highlight his industry influence.

In 2021, Dr. Doge became a core contributor to the NewTON project. His initiatives, including tonstake.com, have been instrumental in advancing TON’s staking mechanisms and API services.

Currently, Dr. Doge leads TONX (formerly TonX Studio), focusing on developing TONXAPI, an advanced API platform for the TON ecosystem. His contributions, including TON zero-knowledge algorithms and the first multisignature wallet, tonkey.app, continue to drive innovation and strengthen TON’s technological foundation.
